With the recent bursts of scorching weather, The Harley
Medical Group has seen an 23% increase in people grooming themselves
ready to hit the beaches at home and abroad this summer.
Laser Hair Removal, is the
most popular summer-time non-surgical procedure with men and women across The Harley
Medical Group’s 30 UK clinics.
Liz Dale, Director at Harley Medical Group, commented: "People of all ages opt for
laser hair removal because it’s such an effective and convenient treatment. It’s
particularly popular with women and men in their late twenties through to their
forties, as they have more disposable cash to invest in themselves. The most
popular areas for the treatment are London, Brighton and Leeds.
"While we do see a spike in treatment bookings between February and August, as
people get ready for the beach, it's our most popular non-surgical treatment so we
have high demand all year round. This summer's sunny warm weather has caused this
increase in enquiry as more patients are having the opportunity to wear swimwear and
skimpy summer clothing."
The Harley Medical Group uses the Alexandrite (Class 4) laser designed to work on
lighter skin, the YAG laser for darker skin and the Isolaz which can be used on all
types of skin. All lasers penetrate deep into the dermis and as the heat builds up
the hair follicles are disabled in the active growth phase, enabling effective hair
removal.
An invisible laser beam zaps the hair follicle by seeking out the dark pigmentation
in the hair then directing the laser beam at its root to destroy it. It’s proven to
give permanent hair reduction. You’ll need a course of treatments to remove all
hair permanently though because the laser can only kill active growing hairs. The
actual session will only take around twenty minutes but for permanent hair removal
you’ll need to have 6-8 sessions.
Almost anywhere on the body can be treated - the face, neck, bikini line, underarms,
nipples, tummy line, arms, legs, ears, back and chest. The treatment is virtually
pain free and while some people feel a little discomfort during the treatment, does
not last long.
